J. D. and Jerry (separately Joseph D. Sami and Gerald) are Tamil film directors and scriptwriters who work together as a team.
Their pair's first film as directors was Ullaasam (1997) which had Ajith Kumar and Vikram in the lead roles and produced by Amitabh Bachchan. Despite having a high profile cast and production studio, the film became a disappointment at the box office. They have also directed Whistle (2003) and numerous Tamil television serials. The duo subsequently next worked as assistant directors to Shankar in Sivaji (2007), helping with story discussion.
In 2012, reports suggested that the directors would make a film with Dulquer Salman and Vikram Prabhu in the lead roles, but the venture did not materialise. Jerry later went on to appear in a supporting role in Bala's Paradesi (2013), portraying an antagonistic character called Kangaani.
